On Contextualization of the Estonian Child-Lore Collections ISTORINIO KONTEKSTO ĮTAKA DAINŲ SKLAIDAI The Dog Goes to Tend the Herd… On Contextualization of the Estonian Child-Lore Collections LIINA SAARLO Estonian Folklore Archives, Estonian Literary Museum (Tartu) ABSTRACT. The paper contextualizes the large and “thick” corpus of children’s songs at the Estonian Folklore Archives, presenting circumstances and prerequisites of its formation. The showcase is the child-lore corpus of Laiuse parish and Priidu Tammepuu, the key figure in its formation. The paper discusses the motives of an amateur folklore collector, conflicts between the contributor and the archival institution. Also, problems of collection by pupils are brought forward, revealing the reasons of marginalisation and dismission of some of the corpus’s content by folklorists, researchers and publishers. Finally, perspectives and possibilities for use of such archival materials are discussed. KEYWORDS: Estonian Folklore Archives, folklore collection campaigns, child-lore, contributor, literary influences on oral traditions. INTRODUCTION In Estonia, folklore has been a cornerstone of the construction of the Estonian national identity, and thereby countrywide folklore collection campaigns played an important role in the national movement since the 1880s. In the 1920s and 1930s, after gaining the national independence and institutionalization of the folkloristics, the focus of fieldwork and studies of the Estonian folklore shifted from classical genres to the peripheries of oral tradition. Theretofore considered unattractive and trivial, some genres – like child-lore – found themselves as objects of massive collection campaigns. Professor Walter Anderson organized the collection of children songs all over Estonia with the help of the published questionnaire. The campaign succeeded because it was targeted at school teachers and pupils and – thanks to the precedent collection campaigns – the idea of documentation of oral folk traditions was commonly recognized. Anderson’s and his predecessors’ success inspired several 252 ISSN 1392-2831 Tautosakos darbai 59, 2020 L. Saarlo. THE DOG GOES TO TEND THE HERD… 253 local contributors – like a school teacher of Laiuse parish, Priidu Tammepuu – to continue the collection on their own, using the same methods and sometimes the same questionnaire. The child-lore collections of Anderson and his followers can be considered to be a thick corpus in many ways (see Honko 2000). Firstly, literally – the questionnaires were answered by whole grades and schools, the child-lore tradition was documented exhaustively. Secondly, pupils were instructed to follow the authenticity principles and add the contextual data about the origins of the documented songs. Nevertheless, the collections of Anderson and his followers were derogated and marginalized by Estonian folklorists. Firstly, because of implied triviality, as mentioned above. Secondly, because of supposed unauthenticity – the general assumption is that pupils fabulated and scribed from each other. The tasks of archivists, researchers and publishers of these collections are uncontestably complicated. However, application of the methods of digital and interdisciplinary humanities can give very interesting and fruitful results. In my paper, I will discuss the possibilities to contextualize Anderson’s and Tammepuu’s child-lore collections from Laiuse parish. FOLKLORE COLLECTION IN ESTONIA: COUNTRYWIDE CAMPAIGNS The documentation of the Estonian folklore, i.e. archaic oral traditions of peasantry1, has its long and prosperous history. Arisen from protestant need for local written languages and problems of religious education, and later following the Herderian ideas, Baltic-German intellectuals have been documenting peasants’ oral tradition since the 17th century (Valk 2007; Lukas 2011). Although Estonian folklore was considered as a part of Baltic-German identity, and collection, translation and publication of folklore texts was a significant component of intellectual activities, the documentation of folklore was an avocation of single literati and not an all- inclusive action. The increase of Estonian national clerisy and the idea of formation of the Estonian professional culture on the basis of oral traditional culture (e.g. Särg 2007) intensified interest in the oral tradition of peasants and prompted various societies as well as individuals to organize collection campaigns. As in many other Eastern-European countries, folklore collecting became an important part of the construction of the Estonian national identity in the 19th 1 Until the very end of the 19th century, the social classes and ethnic groups were (almost) clearly divided in Estonia: ethnic Estonians were peasantry – culturally, socially and economically marginalized class. Aristocracy and bourgeoisie were Baltic-Germans and Russians. On Estonian history see Kasekamp 2010. 254 TAUTOSAKOS DARBAI 59 century (e.g. Jansen 1994). The most active phase of folklore collecting was in the 1890s, when thousands of common people participated in the campaigns initiated by Jakob Hurt (1839–1907) and Matthias Johann Eisen (1857–1934)2. One of the reasons of the success of these actions was skilful PR-work by both organizers – clarion calls and public speeches as well as reports were published in countrywide newspapers, contributors were publicly acknowledged and instructed (Hroch 2000: 76–85; Jaago 2005; Kikas 2013; cf. Mikkola 2013: 146). The result of those campaigns – approx. 200,000 manuscript pages – formed the basis of Estonian folklore corpus, and later became the cornerstone of Estonian Folklore Archives. The success of the campaigns enthused several minor campaigns, both by professionals and amateurs, countrywide and locally. Oskar Kallas3 organized a countrywide collection of folk tunes with the help of students (Kuutma 2005b). But there were also local contributors or enthusiastic followers who organized collection with the help of friends, sometimes starting private archives (e.g. Kikas 2014: 319). With the founding of the Estonian Folklore Archives in 1927, all minor collections were supposed to be assigned to the central archives, because folklore- collections were seen as an important part of common knowledge, having scientific and national significance. Most of the Estonian folklore collections were handed over, donated or escrowed, but some collectors confronted conventions and the officials of the archives (e.g. Oras 2002; Kalkun 2012). WALTER ANDERSON AND THE COLLECTION OF CHILDREN’S SONGS Since folklore was seen as the testimony of the nation’s history and significance of its culture in the 19th century, socio-historical, mythological and aesthetical aspects of the classical genres like runo-songs, fairy-tales and legends were in the focus of Estonian folklore collections and studies till the 1920s. Marginal and “non-serious” genres and topics – like child-lore, urban-lore, obscenities, traditions of ethnic and social minorities, etc. – were considered as trivial, inappropriate or insignificant, and thereby ignored (cf. Bendix 1997; Bula 2008; Saarlo 2008). Because folklore 2 Jakob Hurt was a notable Estonian pastor, folklorist, and linguist. His lifelong work gave way to the institutionalisation of Estonian studies: the Estonian National Museum was founded in 1909 and the Estonian Folklore Archives in 1927 to preserve his folklore collection and to continue his work (see e.g. Jaago 2005). Matthias Johann Eisen was also a pastor and folklorist, he followed Hurt’s example in collection methods. Being a competitor to Hurt’s campaign, Eisen published a number of popular volumes on different folklore genres (see e.g. Kuutma 2005a). 3 Oskar Kallas (1868–1946) was an Estonian folklorist, later a diplomat. As a student, he was one of the first of Hurt’s stipendiaries. He defended his doctoral thesis in Helsinki University in 1901, becoming the first Estonian PhD in folkloristics. L. Saarlo. THE DOG GOES TO TEND THE HERD… 255 collection was a patriotic activity, it was self-evident that organizers of the col- lections had to be intellectuals, respected members of the society, and contributors had to be mature, responsible people. In the 1880s, Estonian society was democratic enough to accept contributions by farmhands, servants, or even women, but pupils felt the need to hide their adolescence or apologise for it (see Kikas 2014: 318–319). In the 1920s and 1930s, after gaining the national independence and institutionalization of folkloristics4, great changes occurred in Estonian folklore research and fieldwork conventions. Folklorists’ interest broadened from ethnocentric archaic traditions of peasantry to ethnic minorities, neighbouring peoples and contemporary folklore (e.g. Saarlo 2018b). Walter Anderson (ELM, ERA, Foto 1610) Walter Anderson (1885–1962) was the first professor of folklore at the University of Tartu, and an exemplary representative of the historic-geographic school (Seljamaa 2005). Alongside conceptional theoretical approaches on classical folklore genres (Anderson 1923, 1935), he was interested in contemporary folklore phenomena, marginalia and minorities, e.g. chain letters, graffiti, child-lore, etc. (Seljamaa 2008). 4 Estonia gained independence in 1918, the chair of Estonian and comparative folklore was founded at the Tartu University in 1919; Estonian Folklore Archives were founded in 1927 (see e.g. Valk 2007: 287–288). 256 TAUTOSAKOS DARBAI 59 Anderson initiated the collection of children songs all over Estonia with the help of the published questionnaire

  • On Estonian Folk Culture: Pro Et Contra
    doi:10.7592/FEJF2014.58.ounapuu ON ESTONIAN FOLK CULTURE: PRO ET CONTRA Piret Õunapuu Abstract: The year 2013 was designated the year of heritage in Estonia, with any kind of intangible and tangible heritage enjoying pride of place. Heritage was written and spoken about and revived in all kinds of ways and manners. The motto of the year was: There is no heritage without heir. Cultural heritage is a comprehensive concept. This article focuses, above all, on indigenous cultural heritage and, more precisely, its tangible (so-called object) part. Was the Estonian peasant, 120 years back, with his gradually increasing self-confidence, proud or ashamed of his archaic household items? Rustic folk culture was highly viable at that time. In many places people still wore folk costumes – if not daily, then at least the older generation used to wear them to church. A great part of Estonians still lived as if in a museum. Actually, this reminded of the old times that people tried to put behind them, and sons were sent to school in town for a better and more civilised future. In the context of this article, the most important agency is peasants’ attitude towards tangible heritage – folk culture in the widest sense of the word. The appendix, Pro et contra, at the end of the article exemplifies this on the basis of different sources. Keywords: creation of national identity, cultural heritage, Estonian National Museum, Estonian Students’ Society, folk costumes, folk culture, Learned Es- tonian Society, material heritage, modernisation, nationalism, social changes HISTORICAL BACKGROUND By the end of the 19th century, the Russification period, several cultural spaces had evolved in the Baltic countries: indigenous, German and Russian.

  • The Spiritual Folksongs of Cyrillus Kreek Laney Mcclain Armstrong A
    “Now sing from the mouth and from the heart”: The Spiritual Folksongs of Cyrillus Kreek Laney McClain Armstrong A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts University of Washington 2013 Reading Committee: Geoffrey Boers, Chair Giselle Wyers Áine Heneghan Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Music – Choral Conducting ©Copyright 2013 Laney McClain Armstrong 1 Introduction Estonia is a country with a rich history full of music, singing, and ancient traditions. As a country that has been occupied and heavily influenced by a variety of different governments and cultures throughout Europe, Estonia’s rich and ancient history is infused with traditions from a variety of cultures. German, Swedish, Russian, and other Baltic traditions permeate Estonian music, language, and religious practice. During a national cultural awakening in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, musical scholars began to collect and document a variety of different folk traditions as part of the process of creating a national identity for Estonia. This process is parallel to the movements pioneered by Zoltan Kolday, Bela Bartok, and other nationalists who used the folk songs and folk traditions of their people to help create a national identity and integrate it into the modern music of their own cultures. The particular role that folksong collection played in the establishment of an Estonian cultural identity and the fight for independence is profound. Among them was the young student Cyrillus Kreek. With his initial education in the folksongs of Estonia as a young student, Kreek went on to champion a particular form of Estonian singing: the spiritual folksong.

  • LÕPUNI ELAMATU ELU Aino Kallase Biograafia
    LÕPUNI ELAMATU ELU Aino Kallase biograafia SILJA VUORIKURU Milline on lõplik kokkuvõte, minu elu tulemus? Vahest oskab minu biograafia tulevane kirjutaja öelda seda paremini kui mina ise, kes ma pole veel päriselt läinud. ii kirjutas Aino Kallas (1878–1956) juulis 1953, kolm aastat enne surma. Ta elas toona koos tütre Virve Kallas-Pässi ja tema kahe peaaegu Ntäisealise lapsega Stockholmis, kuhu oli olnud sunnitud põgenema 1944. aasta sügisel, jagades nii arvukate eestlaste saatust. Kirjaniku abikaasa Oskar Kallas oli surnud nende teisel Rootsi-talvel jaanuaris 1946, 77-aastasena. 1950. aastate alguses kavatsesid paljud kirjutada Aino Kallase biograafiat. Äsja soome kirjanduses magistrikraadi kaitsnud Kai Laitinen oli kirjaniku nõusolekul alustanud 1952. aasta alguses tööd eluloo kallal, kuid ta polnud selles esimene. Folklorist Elsa Enäjärvi-Haavio oli hakanud Kallase elulugu kavandama juba 1930.–1940. aastate vahetusel, aga tööd pidurdas tükk aega tema enese uurimistöö. Eluloo koostamine jäi lõplikult pooleli, kui Enäjärvi- Haavio vaid 49-aastasena 1951. aasta jaanuaris vähki suri. (Sievänen-Allen 1993: 340, 382–395) Kirjandusprofessor Aarne Anttila ja Enäjärvi-Haavio abikaasa, folklorist Martti Haavio (luuletajana P. Mustapää) ettepanekul sai Laitisest töö jätkaja (Laitinen 1973: 9). Tema töö algusjärgus andsid endast märku veel kaks huvilist biograafi: kirjandusüliõpilane Lea Laine ja lektor Helmer Winter. Aino Kallas oli meelitatud ootamatust ja isegi üllatavast tähele panust, kuid mõte omavahel võistlevatest biograafiatest tundus hirmu- tav: „Aga ei saa ju seda ühte õnnetut elu kaheks jagada”, kirjutas kirjanik 1952. aasta märtsis nõutult, millele lisandus hiljem lõbustatus: „Minu in spe biograafide hulk hakkab juba peaaegu et muret tegema, sest kas siis ühest elust jääb nii paljudele muud kui ainult riismeid?” (Kallas 1957: 160, 200) Paguluses elav eakas kirjanik oli kuulus ja lugupeetud – just selline, kelle- sugustest kirjutatakse kirjanikubiograafiaid.1 Juba 1930.

    Tegelaskond, kes kujundas Eesti Rahva Muuseumi 11 TEGELASKOND, KES KUJUNDAS EESTI RAHVA MUUSEUMI Piret Õunapuu Käesolevas artiklis püüan ma anda ülevaate nendest inimestest, kes olid seotud nii Eesti Rahva Muuseumi sünnilooga kui muuseumi väljaarendamisega esimese üheksa aasta jooksul ehk kuni Eesti Va- bariigi kehtestamiseni. Need olid inimesed erinevatelt elualadelt ja erinevate suundumustega oma kutsetöös, kõiki neid aga ühendas lu- gupidamine oma rahva mineviku vastu ja soov seda säilitada tule- vastele põlvedele. See oli mõistmine, et ka meie rahva kultuur on midagi, millel on väärtus läbi aja ja see väärtus aastate möödudes ei kahane, vaid aina kasvab. Artiklis on kasutatud põhiliselt ERMi arhiivimaterjale ja tihti vii- datud ka kahele seni ilmunud pikemale muuseumi varasemat ajalugu käsitlevale artiklile Ferdinand Leinbocki (Linnus) (1934) ja Ants Viirese (2001) sulest. Ilma otseselt viitamata on isikute tuvastami- seks kasutatud mitmeid teatmeteoseid, neist enim Eesti biograafilist leksikoni (19261929) ja Eesti biograafilise leksikoni täiendusköi- det (1940). Eesti Rahva Muuseumi sünnilugu on olnud pikk ja vaevaline. Esi- mesed mõtted oma eesti muuseumi asutamise kohta öeldi avali- kult välja juba 1860. aastate lõpus ja ometi sai mõte teoks alles roh- kem kui nelikümmend aastat hiljem. Siinkohal võiks kehtida vana- sõna, et algul ei saa vedama ja pärast ei saa pidama. Kõigepealt vedama saamisest. Eksisteerisid meil ju mõned muu- seumid, mis olid eelkõige baltisaksa ringkondade rangelt akadeemi- lised kogud. Tavalisel eestlasel polnud neist aimugi. Kuni 1860. aas- tateni oli ühiskonna areng olnud aeglane ja väheste muutustega ning 19. sajandi kolmandal veerandil oli Eestimaal järsult ja kiiresti kõik teisiti. Oli sündinud eesti rahvas kui natsioon ja see tõi omakorda kaasa kogu eesti ühiskonna teisenemise.

  • The Role of Helsinki in the Estonian Agenda of Modernizing Tallinn at the Beginning of the Twentieth Century
    ZfO JECES 67 ı 2018 ı 4 ı 485-506 485 The Role of Helsinki in the Estonian Agenda of Modernizing Tallinn at the Beginning of the Twentieth Century Karin Hallas-Murula ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Die Rolle Helsinkis im Rahmen der estnischen Modernisierungspläne für Tallinn zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts Aufgrund der geografischen, ethnischen und kulturellen Nähe spielte Finnland eine wich- tige Rolle bei der kulturellen und politischen Entwicklung Estlands. In den Jahren 1904- 1914 erlebte die estnische Architektur ihre Finnische Periode. Wichtige staatliche Gebäude in Estland wurden von finnischen Architekten entworfen. Für viele Esten war Helsinki die nächstgelegene europäische Großstadt; ein Besuch dort lag nur 80 Kilometer über die Ostsee entfernt. Helsinkis Stadtentwicklung fand seit den 1890er Jahren in estnischen Zeitungen ihren Widerhall. Zu den urbanen Errungen- schaften Helsinkis, die dort hervorgehoben wurden, zählten die Boulevards, Parks und Denkmale, die Neubauten, der moderne Straßenverkehr und vor allem die Sauberkeit im Stadtbild sowie das zivilisierte Auftreten seiner Einwohner. Im Jahr 1904 errangen die Esten bei der Wahl zur Tallinner Stadtverordnetenversamm- lung erstmals die Mehrheit. Orientierten sie sich im Folgenden, konfrontiert mit der prakti- schen Verwaltungsarbeit, an Helsinki als dem Modell einer europäischen Stadt? Ange- sichts des immer dichter werdenden kommunikativen Netzwerks zwischen den beiden Stadtverwaltungen wird in dem vorliegenden Beitrag der Standpunkt vertreten, dass beim Transfer von Wissen bezüglich kommunaler Verwaltung auch Städte an der geografischen Peripherie als Vermittler von Innovation auftreten konnten. Der internationale Wettbewerb eines Generalplans für Tallinn (1913) war der erste sei- ner Art im Russischen Reich. Bedenkt man den finnischen Einfluss auf die estnische Architektur, war es nur zu natürlich, dass der finnische Architekt Eliel Saarinen eingeladen wurde, um den Wettbewerb vorzubereiten.
